I haven't found a way to remove those. I can get the maps removed, but I can't remove the blank pages that are left behind.

I'll have to take a look at that again now that 2.5 has dropped. I had difficulty getting it to work in the past because singleplayer missions load differently than multiplayer missions and I could never quite find where the multiplayer .miz file is saved to when a player connects to a server.

If Kneeboard Builder can't find or access the files at '...DCS World/Scripts/Aircrafts/_Common/Cockpit/ViewportHandling.lua' and '...Saved Games/Config/options.lua.' the 'Kneeboard Settings' option will be greyed out. Generally, either Kneeboard Builder is pointing to the wrong DCS install directory or the ViewportHandling.lua is in use and locked by another program or mod.

Version 1.7.0.3 Released Version 1.7.0.3 is now available. -Fixed 'ParseDouble' crash on startup for some users. This should fix the 'ParseDouble' error people are getting. I had to tweak the logic a bit more for the DCS 2.5 Caucusus terrain file structure changes while also trying to maintain backwards compatibility for DCS 1.5. Please continue to post problems to me here on the forums or via email at s13solutions@gmail.com. I apologize for all the late replies, my real job keeps getting in the way. A big thanks to everyone who emailed me their errors.

Which items are you trying to remove?

It is possible but a bit tricky because you have to modify the 'device_init.lua' in each aircraft mod folder separately to point to the custom 'declare_kneeboard_device.lua' in the saved games folder. Then modify the custom 'declare_kneeboard_device.lua' to point to the custom 'indicator/init.lua' location in the saved games folder.

Could you send me your 'KneeboardBuilder.exe.Config' file from the Kneeboard Builder folder? Thanks!

Version 1.7.0.2 Released Version 1.7.0.2 is now available. -Fixed crash due to leftover 'CaucusBase' folder in DCS 2.5 installations. -Fixed error and crash when trying to set standalone Flaming Cliffs aircraft profiles. -Added basic error catching for unhandled errors. Hopefully this will fix a few of the common errors causing crashes for people. Feel free to throw any problems at me here at the forums or via email at s13solutions@gmail.com. Also, I have received a large number of bug and crash reports over the last several months so if I have forgotten about you and haven't fixed your problem please send me a reminder.

It is possible to remove the maps themselves but I have not found a way to remove the blank kneeboard pages that remain. If you don't mind having 4 or 5 blank pages in your kneeboard I can let you know how to do it.

Can you send me your windows error logs right after you try running Kneeboard Builder? For windows 10: Right click on the start menu -> computer management -> expand 'event viewer' -> expand 'windows logs' -> click on application To save your all events: right click on application -> save all events as -> enter a name and save as an Event File (.evtx) To save a single event: right click on the event(s) you want to save -> save selected event -> enter a name and save as an Event File (.evtx) E-mail the logs to me at s13solutions@gmail.com.

If you make a new profile for the profile it will have with the default settings. Don't make any modifications to the new profile and set it as the active profile using the taskbar icon. That will set the kneeboard back to its default location, size and colors.

Those appear to be DCS bugs and not related to KBB.

I'm still around. I've just been working a large amount of overtime in my RL job the last few months so I haven't had the energy to focus on anything else. Keeping up with all of the changes implemented with every beta version of DCS is a bit of a challenge, so I am waiting until it stabilizes more before working on fixing some of the KBB bugs. Deleting the folder “CaucasusBase” from “…\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\terrains" should allow KBB to work with 2.5 in most cases. If you still have issues with it send me the windows error logs: For windows 10: Right click on the start menu -> computer management -> expand 'event viewer' -> expand 'windows logs' -> click on application To save your all events: right click on application -> save all events as -> enter a name and save as an Event File (.evtx) To save a single event: right click on the event(s) you want to save -> save selected event -> enter a name and save as an Event File (.evtx) E-mail the logs to me at s13solutions@gmail.com.

Markeebo, Delete the folder “CaucasusBase” from “…\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\terrains”. It is left over from the old openbeta and is not needed. That should stop the crash.

Here is the path to the DCS World OpenBeta uninstall registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\DCS World OpenBeta_is1

I believe I have Kneeboard Builder setup to look up the DCS install path using the uninstall registry key for DCS World. I don't exactly remember why at the moment. I am also away from my computer so can't tell you where exactly that registry key is located, but I will look it up when I get home.

Delete the folder “CaucasusBase” from “…\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\terrains” and Kneeboard Builder should work normally.

My apologies for the problems your are having. To clear all modified files back to their defaults go to Options -> Preferences and check the 'Lite Mode' option and close Kneeboard Builder. That should restore the original files. If it still doesn't work, you will need to run a DCS World Repair to restore the affected config files. One of the features I need to add to Kneeboard Builder is a better 'reset' function. The Custom Kneeboard Creation using Kneeboard Builder doesn't modify any of the base DCS World config files or any of the base files for any of your modules. The only folders it makes any changes to is the .../Saved Games/{DCS VERSION}/Kneeboard folder or the default kneeboard directory (I can't remember the path at the moment) if you are adding images there. However, customizing the Kneeboard Settings (Options -> Kneeboard Settings) will modify the init.lua file for the selected aircraft. (.../DCS World/Mods/aircraft/{Aircraft Module}/Scripts/Cockpit) Or a similar path I think Sometimes a DCS World update will require a newer version of the init.lua for some of the aircraft, but Kneeboard Builder continues to use the old one and weird things happen. I am not sure what things would change based solely on a campaign. I know the Charnwood campaign uses kneeboard images added directly to the missions, so maybe that has something to do with it. However, I have not had any issues yet using a custom kneeboard when flying Charnwood missions.

Sorry about the problem you are having. I must have the folder structure setup wrong for the FC3 standalone planes. I don't own any of the standalone aircraft, so could you locate the correct directory for the 'device_init.lua' file in your F-15C installation path? ( I am assuming it will be somewhere like ...Eagle Dynamics/DCS World/Mods/aircraft/F15C/Cockpit/KneeboardLeft). Let me know the correct path and I'll put together a fix for it. Thanks for your help.

Thanks. The download page at www.dcskneeboardbuilder.com has now been updated to version 1.7.0.1.

Version 1.7.0.1 Released Version 1.7.0.1 is now available. -Fixed crash on load when Kneeboard Builder has wrong DCS World installation path -Fixed error and crash when trying to set "All" aircraft profiles Lets give this another shot. Hopefully this will fix the crash on load many of you are experiencing. If it still doesn't work for you let me know.

Could you please look at your windows error logs right after you try running Kneeboard Builder and e-mail them to me. To view the error logs in windows 7: click on the start menu -> control panel -> system and security -> administrative tools -> event viewer-> expand 'windows logs' -> click on application. For windows 8 / 10: right click on the start menu -> computer management -> expand 'event viewer' -> expand 'windows logs' -> click on application To save your all events: right click on application -> save all events as -> enter a name and save as an Event File (.evtx) To save a single event: right click on the event(s) you want to save -> save selected event -> enter a name and save as an Event File (.evtx) E-mail the logs to me at s13solutions@gmail.com. Thanks.

Thanks. Several users are reporting experiencing that problem.

It appears that for some users Kneeboard Builder is not getting the correct DCS installation directory from the Registry. Haven't quite pinned down why that is, possibly old registry entries. In any case, I am working on modifying the initialization logic so that KB will ask for the correct directories when first started. In the mean time, this fix should work for anyone having this issue: 1) From the Kneeboard Builder folder open the ‘KneeboardBuilder.exe.Config’ in a text editor like Notepad++ or VS Code. 2) Between the ' </configSections> ' and ' <startup> ' tags add this code: <appSettings> <add key="DCSpath" value="D:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\" /> <add key="SavedGamesPath" value="E:\Karl's Libraries\Saved Games" /> </appSettings> 3) Manually change the DCSpath and SavedGamesPath values to the correct DCS version paths for your system and save the file. 4) Try running Kneeboard Builder. If it loads up, first thing to do is go to Options -> Preferences, set the correct paths there as well, set your other preferred options and click ‘Save’. You should only have to do this the first time you run Kneeboard Builder. I recommend having a separate Kneeboard Builder installation for each version of DCS World you are using(1.5, 2.0 Beta, 2.0 Alpha).
